Trincomalee

From Kandasamy Kovil to Fort Frederick to Dutch Bay and the most stunning turquoise waters kissed by golden shores, Trincomalee is a coastal retreat with sights to touch and mesmerize all hearts. With the British built air-field at China Bay to south, Trincomalee is no stranger to colonial reckonings while the city sits beside natural harbours facing many dawns and dusks of historic events. Snorkeling, scuba diving by the coral ribbed pools of Pigeon Island, a boat ride from the main city, while whale watching from boats that can be hired at Nilaveli, are only a few attractions that capture mind, body and soul. Trinco, as the city is lovingly called is located just over 250 km northeast of Colombo.
